Guatemala is a Collapsed State, UN
The United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner Anders Compass considered on Saturday that the Guatemalan State has failed and collapsed, after the many crimes, in which officials and police agents have been involved.

"It is easy to warn, concerned, the security situation is deteriorating at a brisk pace," said Kompass, referring to the assassination in this country of three Salvadorian deputies and their driver, and the later execution of the agents made responsible for the incident.

The UN representative said daily these cases prove how corruption and the organized crime have penetrated, and are operating within the security institutions.

For the official, violence and impunity in Guatemala affect seriously the work, reliability, and credibility of several state institutions and authorities.

Besides, impunity violates legality and weakens democracy, he said.

Questioned about the need to reorganize the security system, Kompass reminded that responsibility always falls on the top commands.
